2026 Spring Digital Literacy Training and Graduation CONGRATULATIONS to our Spring Digital Literacy Training Cohort! Over the past six weeks, we had the joy of working with our participants as they learned practical, everyday digital skills. From computer basics to mobile banking, telehealth, and helpful mobile apps, this program helped our community gain confidence and independence in using technology. Our class was truly special. Each participant came ready to learn, asked great questions, and embraced every opportunity to grow. Their curiosity and dedication made every session meaningful, and we feel so grateful to have shared this journey with them. We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Progressive Baptist Church  for hosting our classes and creating a warm, welcoming space for learning. We are also very grateful to Comerica Bank, United Way, AT&T, and Compudopt  for their partnership and support in making this program possible. To our participants, partners, and supporters, thank you for your commitment, generosity, and engagement. We hope our graduates will continue to come back for refresher sessions and keep building their digital skills. For those participants who used their own laptops during class, they can continue practicing comfortably at home and reinforce what they learned. We are excited to see how everyone applies their new knowledge and look forward to the next chapter of our Digital Literacy Training program! #DigitalLiteracy #DigitalSkills #TechnologyTraining #CommunitySupport #Graduation #MobileBanking #DigitalEquity #SpringCohort2026 #CommunityEmpowerment #SeniorSupport #DigitalGap
